Hamlet

A detailed Summary of Hamlet

Hamlet: Nice Work!

In "Hamlet," Shakespear writes about a prince named Hamlet. The prince, troubled by his father's murder, wants revenge from Claudius-the murderer. Although Shakespear wrote this play four centuries ago, many trends mentioned in "Hamlet" are still alive today. For instance, heinous crimes are still committed to gain power and fortune. People like Polonius still pretend to dignify their superiors to achieve recognition. The concept of supernatural beings also exists today. All the characters in this play were important; however, I found Hamlet's character the most interesting. He impatiently wanted to kill Claudius but he acted with extreme caution while avenging his father's death. I would like to compare myself with Hamlet because I would have taken the same actions that Hamlet took if I was in his shoes.

One of the most engaging parts of the play is mentioning of ghosts. The phenomenon of supernatural beings still exits in the modern world. Some believe in their existence, while others consider their concept mythological. I believe ghosts exist because while growing up in Pakistan and visiting the remote village that my mother comes from, I have heard about many inter

Hamlet can be analyzed as a peaceful yet logical man. He showed his peaceful side by not killing Claudius when he was praying and his logical side by killing Claudius when the time was right. He kept trying to protect himself and to make Caludius pay for his crimes. Although it is sad that Hamlet died at the end, I think he died as a hero who was not an immoral killer but a fair punisher. In conclusion, people have doubts about Hamlets mental condition. The reason being that in some instances Hamlet acted normal while in others like that of Ophelias' death, he seemed mad. However, he took the right actions according to me. Hamlet could not have killed Claudius outrightly because the society would not allow it, and yet he could not finish him quietly because he was not a criminal.

Guildenstern and Rosencrantz chose their own route to death. They were Hamlet's friends but were working to kill him. Both were given a chance when Hamlet caught them spying for Claudius, but the King's loyalty was everything to them. In order to save his own life, Hamlet made no mistake to forge official papers and order their deaths. Some body said, " A friends in need is a friends indeed." Guildenstern and Rosencrantz were not true friends and thus, Hamlet was disappointed. I think Hamlet made the right decision to kill these betrayers because I would have dealt with their type in the same manner.

Another good move by Hamlet was to obey Claudius' orders to leave for England. If in his place, I would have evaluated my options. I would have accepted the Kings offer because he was trying to find any
